Villa San Michele, A Belmond Hotel, Florence
Renaissance splendour and modern art blend in perfection at this luxury hotel perched over Florence

With a facade designed by Michelangelo, ancient frescos, and cutting-edge street art, Villa San Michele is a work of art. Surrounded by a wooded park and gardens, its hilltop location affords dramatic views of the city, only 15 minutes away by courtesy shuttle. Swim in the gorgeous pool, the highest in Florence, or sip a refreshing aperitif in the lush panoramic gardens. Most guest rooms boast stunning views and a private terrace or gardens. No day is complete without a meal at La Loggia, one of the city’s finest dining establishments. Little guests can enjoy fun activities suggested by the dedicated kids’ concierge.

Sustainability
Our Commitment
Belmond is deeply respectful of its communities and their surroundings.
We aim to tread lightly and indeed make a positive contribution to the many destinations where we operate. We are also strongly aware of our responsibility towards natural resources and the environment, especially at locations close to World Heritage Sites.
All our hotels, trains and river cruises run initiatives to support the places and people that surround them. As part of our “Think Global, Act Local” approach we:
- Purchase as much food as possible from sustainable sources
- Run and support educational programmes
- Follow sustainable practices to reduce the impact of our operations on the environment and to ensure energy efficiency
Among our many initiatives, the food and beverage operations of the majority of Belmond’s hotels, trains and river cruises are assessed by the UK-based Sustainable Restaurant Association. Belmond is the first global luxury hospitality brand to have undertaken this ongoing third-party testing.
